news.co.nz to see
some action from
the woodchopping.
The variety of events and
activities outshone the
patchy weather at the
110th Helensville A & P
Show.
Townies and country
folk mingled at meander-
ing pace at the Helens-
ville Showgrounds.
Prime Minister John
Key officially opened the
event and presented
awards to new life mem-
ber Graeme Bradly and
outstanding service
awards to Gaylene Ash-
ton and Waldon Ellett.
Competition was keen
in the various show rings
from livestock, dog
agility and equestrian to
the Junior Farmer s com-
petition and wood-
chopping.
Attractions ranged
from watching the High-
land dancing and
checking out the military
vehicles to buying a bar-
gain or handy product
from the diverse market
and trade stalls.
Families and entrants
in the indoor section
scoured the displays and
walls to see how their
items fared for prizes or
sampled the delicious
food and wine from the
region in the Relish the
Taste marquee.
Children couldn t get
bored with the Cookie
Bear Roadshow packed
with activities like an
inflatable
obstacle
course, mini jeeps and
hotrods, Disney at-
tractions, side show
games and rides on the
ferris wheel and pirate
ship.
Six-piece band Retro
Vibe, with singer Andrea
Clarke returning to the
show for the first time in
20 years, kept the crowd
entertained. It was a
great atmosphere. I m
delighted with the way
the day went, show
manager Marion Stutz
says.
She thanks the many
volunteers, sponsors and
supporters who helped
make the day such a suc-
cess.
